Pumpkin pie, autumn decorations and an evening film in the garden: Pumpkin Fair returns to Bucharest on October 3–4, 2026, turning the Antipa Museum Garden near Piața Victoriei into a weekend destination for seasonal food, local crafts and family activities. The fair opens from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM on both days, with pumpkins at the centre of everything from creative workshops to the menu.
For anyone looking to enjoy autumn in Bucharest, the setting offers an easy escape from the surrounding city streets. Come for a stroll through the stalls, stop for something pumpkin-flavoured and leave time for the activities, especially if you are visiting with children.
Autumn Decorations and Local Makers
The fair is organised around five themed areas. Pumpkin Art brings together autumn installations, sculptures, and decorations, creating a backdrop for photos among pumpkins and straw bales. Pumpkin Village gathers local producers, artisans and small family businesses, with stalls to explore throughout the weekend.
Pumpkin Pie, Ice Cream and Seasonal Coffee
Pumpkin Lab is the food area, with baked pumpkin, pumpkin pie, pumpkin ice cream and pumpkin-flavoured coffee among the announced treats. It is a chance to try the season’s signature ingredient in several forms, whether you are stopping for a warm snack or something sweet between activities.
Pumpkin Carving and Children’s Activities
The pumpkin-carving and painting marathon is one of the event’s main attractions, inviting visitors to turn pumpkins into their own creations. Pumpkin Playground adds games and activities for children, making the fair an option for families spending the weekend in Bucharest.
Open-Air Cinema from 7:00 PM
As evening arrives, Pumpkin Night brings open-air cinema to the garden from 7:00 PM, with an autumn-themed film. Visitors can spend the afternoon enjoying the stalls and food, then stay for the screening.
